I guess I had forgotten, or maybe didn't ever know, that you went to Dartmouth, where I have worked since 2010. FWIW, my 82 year old father is still biking 1000+ miles a year and skiing almost 5 days a week on 2 artificial hips. I hope you have similar quality of life improvement after your surgery.

“I know lots of things are getting broken right now that will be much harder to repair than my hip. Our world may forever walk with a limp after all that is unfolding.”

Interesting to me how often Hashem’s prophets are called on to speak through their circumstances. Feel better, Prophet. ❤️ You got a lotta’ work to do and feels like this is another big beginning!

Molly, two things. I didn't know you were from Lebanon, NH. I grew up in Exeter. I had two hips replaced in 2024. Now, a year later, I'm glad I did it. The first 3 weeks of the first replacement were hellish, but I got through it. I thought the second surgery would be a breeze since I had experienced it once before. Nope. A suture got infected which was more painful than the surgery, but now that is a distant memory. Do as your told. Take the painkillers. Be faithful in you PT, when the time comes, and heal fast and strong. Fondly, Norm

hi Norm! I'm not from NH--I went to college there. So glad you are far on the other side and restored to full mobility!
